AIBU to think of replacing all synthetic duvets with wool duvet?

I just paid £20 to the laundrette for cleaning a synthetic single duvet - 4.5 tog. (I do think they ripped me off to certain level because the duvet has a label "Made in France". And they don't have a fixed price list, all by feelings.)

Our household washing machine wouldn't be able to handle washing duvets. And if wool duvets just need sunbathing now and then but don't need to get washed, why shouldn't I replace all duvets with woolly ones? A Forgary single all-season one on sale costs £52 and I don't need to pay an outrageous amount of money to clean it.

Can someone provide good reasons against this idea please?

Probably a silly question but I can’t wear wool because it really irritates my skin.

Am I likely to have the same reaction to a Wool Duvet / Pillows?

Shouldn't do - my dad can't wear wool but loves his wool duvet
It's not next to your skin

@Gentleness my Devon Duvet is much less rustly than others I've encountered. It also never smelled 'sheepy' which I've read can be a problem with some other brands to begin with. Excellent customer service too.

Thanks - I do keep meaning to start another thread but there are LOT of wool duvet threads on here already and I keep putting it off!
